Education, moral hazard, and endogenous growth
Article Abstract:
The adverse effect of intragenerational redistribution policies on economic development is analyzed. The analysis centers on redistributions that reduce incentives for education and acquisition of skills, and thus have a negative impact on the economic growth rate. To illustrate the moral hazard problem in education, a basic model of a closed economy that produces only one consumption good and its extension to a one-sector model with a standard neoclassical production function and a two-sector economy engaged in international trade is presented.
